Activity trackers are super awesome devices that monitor your health and are like little wearable personal cheerleaders. They keep up with the smaller details while you focus on the bigger goals you’ve set for yourself.
Sure, you’re a devoted Apple fan, and your Apple Watch is a true-blue friend when you’re working out or counting steps and calories. But like the Apple Watch, most activity trackers look like, well, activity trackers, and the silicone bands really don’t pair well with a cocktail dress — or any fancy-schmancy occasion.
Instead of shortchanging yourself when an occasion presents itself, there are alternatives to a sporty tracker: wearable smart devices that look like blingy jewelry. Cool brands like Bellabeat make necklaces, bracelets and watches that can track your period, while InvisaWear designs jewelry and hair accessories that can alert your family and friends when you feel unsafe without you having to fumble around for your phone, like in almost every horror movie ever made.
If your New Year’s resolutions include better health, a calmer mind or increasing your steps, these health and activity trackers are equal parts functional and reliable — and 100% pretty:
1. Bellabeat Ivy Smart Bracelet
This pretty yet simple bracelet packs a powerful punch by identifying self-care gaps and suggests improvements for your overall well-being.
Designed specifically for women, the Bellabeat Ivy bracelet monitors your menstrual cycle, heart rate, cardiac coherence, respiratory rate, activities, sleep and lifestyle habits.
2. Bellabeat Time Watch
While it may look like an ordinary watch, Bellabeat’s Time watch does a whole lot more than tell the time of day.
The Time watch calculates your wellness scores, monitors your activity and sleep, as well as offers insight into your health and lifestyle with tips for how you can improve.
3. Oura Ring Gen3
The Oura smart ring is a simple yet effective piece that monitors your sleep, activity, recovery, temperature, heart rate, stress and more.
For women, the Oura can track changes in your body throughout your cycle and predict your period up to 30 days in advance.
4. Count Me Healthy Journal Bracelet
Crafted as a gorgeous wrist journal, doubling as a chic reminder to stay present. The 18k rose gold-dipped bracelet lets you track your achievements — from weekly workouts to the pieces of candy you’ve eaten — by shifting the beads. The beads don’t move until you move them.
